Built from solid cast construction and engineered for long-term reliability, the PD8/12 is ideal for demanding workshop applications. Complete with a precision-machined mechanism and a 500mm lever arm, the knee-lever design provides high pressing force with relatively low operator effort, while the adjustable working table allows the machine to be set up for different jobs. A solid cast construction and simple mechanical operation make the PD 8/12 well suited to general workshop and engineering use.
